    Questions)

    You are given the following information about the shares of Trunk.
    Cover: 2.4
    Yield: 3.0%
    Market Price: $1.80
    What is the P/E ratio for the company? The price earnings ratio can be derived from share price/earnings per share. Earnings per share can be derived from: Net profits/ (loss) attributable to ordinary shares.

    I would appreciate some explanation on this as well. Thanks, Shams

    The dividend yield is: dividend/market price.
    So the dividend per share = 3% x $1.80 = $0.054

    Dividend cover is: earnings per share/dividend per share
    So the earning per share = 2.4 x $0.054 = $0.1296

    PE ratio is: market value / earning per share = 1.80 / 0.1296 = 13.89
